Meeting creators can now create nicknamed meetings that will reset when they leave the meeting. This will make sure that participants will not be be able to rejoin an old nicknamed meeting and that nicknames can be reused.

Make sure as the creator/organizer of a nicknamed meeting you are the last person to leave the meeting to ensure that the meeting cannot be reentered.

Creating a meeting at meet.google.com by entering a meeting nickname in the "Join or start a meeting” field.

Nicknamed meetings can be created three different ways:

The most common way (pictured to the left) is the meeting was created at meet.google.com by entering a meeting nickname in the "Join or start a meeting” field
The meeting was created using a short link like g.co/meet/nickname
The meeting was created in the Meet app by entering a nickname in the “Meeting code” field
